- Aristotle (one of the great philosophers, scientists, and educators in the ancient history of the world)

Rabinus's Fifth Legion, which is also one of the veteran legions of the Julius family, was formed earlier than the later legions, and the combat effectiveness of the legion soldiers is also very good; However, under the attack of the large-scale Germanic rebels, within a few days, the 2,500 hoplites of the Fifth Army scattered in the key towns of the Macomani region had been lost.

Such heavy casualties made Rabinus feel distressed and angry, the elite Fifth Legion of the Julius family paid such heavy casualties in the rebellion of the Germanic barbarians, how do you ask Rabinus to explain to Flavis and Caesar?

It is no exaggeration to say that in the heart of Rabinus, all those rebellious Germanic barbarians were slaughtered; Even the Macomani tribesmen who lived in the city of Macomani and did not rebel were ready to move in the eyes of Rabinus.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Rabinus's feelings; The destruction of the Macomani army and the death of its leader did not bring the people of the Macomani tribe to the Fifth Legion of Rabinus, but filled their hearts with hatred.

Coupled with the Germanic barbarian tradition of advocating force, every Germanic family will have some traditional Germanic weapons such as axes, and they themselves have the strength to resist the army of the Julius family; It's just that these Germanic barbarian warriors don't dare to risk the lives of their families, after all, their families are all in the city.

If they really took up arms and stood up to fight against the forces of the House of Julius in the city, then the first people who would suffer were these ordinary people living in the city of Macomani; In view of this, the warriors of the Germanic barbarians had no choice but to swallow their anger and not resist.

Soon, the storm of revolt throughout the Macomani region was known to the Germanic people in the city; Even though the rebels were not warriors of the Macomani tribe, they were all Germanic people of the same origin, and the warriors of the Macomani tribe were happy with the victory of their compatriots, and sincerely hoped that they could defeat the foreign invaders once and for all.

By this time, the twelve rebel armies besieging the city of Macomani had joined forces, and the twelve chiefs had also held a meeting between the chiefs outside the city with their cronies; As the leader of the 8,000 rebel army, Verkaris naturally became the supreme commander recognized by all the leaders of the rebel army.

I have to admit that the unity of the Germanic barbarians is really a quality engraved in the bones of their nation, and the mindset of respecting the strong makes them willingly hand over the command of their army to the most powerful leader of Vercaris, and let him lead an army of 35,000 rebels to attack the city of Macomani, which is occupied by the invaders, and completely expel these invaders.

Although the 35,000 warriors of the rebel army were civilians who had just laid down their farming tools and hunting bows, the courage and belligerence engraved in the bones of Germain made them real warriors the moment they took up arms; Perhaps, they are poorly armed and have not undergone any training in combat, but they can still go to the battlefield and fight hard, sacrificing themselves to fight against those invaders.

Verkaris himself was a well-known warrior in the Macomani region, and at least the other eleven leaders present had heard of Vrkaris's prowess and was one of the reasons why they were willing to put their armies under the command of Verkaris.

In the world of the Germanic barbarians, only true warriors can be respected by others, and only respected warriors are qualified to command other Germanic peoples; Birth and family are always secondary.

Having obtained command of the 35,000 rebels, Velcaris immediately drew the 5,000 of the most elite of these rebel armies from the various rebel armies and formed them into a most combat-ready assault force.

The commander of this assault force was the most courageous and combative leader of the twelve rebel armies, perhaps the leader of Marcuy, who was not a qualified commander, but his bravery was obvious to all; While leading the rebels against the garrison of the Julius family, Marcuy alone killed twenty-seven enemy hoplites with a tomahawk!

Such a record is also the only one among all the leaders of the rebel army; Even Vercaris himself did not dare to say that he could defeat the formidable Marcuy in a single fight. And Marcuy is a general who is not good at commanding armies and is only suitable for battlefield killing, and he consciously did not compete with Volkaris for the position of supreme commander, but was willing to obey Volkaris's command.

For a general like Marcui, Vercaris naturally would not give in to let him stay in the rear and direct the warriors to attack the enemy; As mentioned above, the fighting habit of the Germanic barbarians is that the most elite troops will be the first to enter the battle, and the 5,000 elite divisions formed by Volkaris are the vanguard of the rebel army's attack on the city of Makomani!

When the Germanic barbarians fight, they fight without fear of death, and they fight without fear; By appointing Marcuy as commander of the vanguard, Vercaris did not attempt to kill with a knife. You must know that in the custom of the Germanic barbarians, the generals who can lead the troops to attack first in battle are all recognized by the warriors as the most brave and skilled warriors; This is the trust that Volkaris has in Marcuy.

In addition to the five thousand most elite warriors, the remaining thirty thousand ordinary warriors were divided into four parts by Verkaris; Vercaris himself led 15,000 warriors to block the front of the city of Makomani, and the other 15,000 soldiers were divided into three parts, which were stationed on the other three sides of the city.

The city of Macomani, surrounded on all sides, has become an island completely, and the isolated Rabinus can neither break out of the siege nor hold on for a long time; Because the army in the city of Macomani had less than a month's worth of food and grass left, and the current situation made Rabinus dare not attack the Germanic barbarians in the city.

The only good thing is that long before these rebels besieged the city of Macomani, Rabinus had sent enough cavalry to report to Caesar and Flavies, respectively, on the crisis of rebellion in the Macomani area; Especially the army led by Caesar himself, once the Macomani area is lost, Caesar's army will be completely cut off, and Rabinus must tell Caesar everything that happened.

Whether Caesar and Flavies have received the news Rabinus does not know, but Rabinus is really not optimistic at the moment; The rebels outside the city immediately began a new military deployment and slowly laid siege to the city of Makomani.

On the third day of the siege of the city of Makomani, Vercaris finally gave the official order to his chiefs to attack the city of Makomani; All the 15,000 warriors in front of the city came to the open space outside the city, and the 5,000 elite warriors led by Makui himself carried the ladder to a place less than 100 meters away from the wooden walls of the city.

Needless to say, the ladders carried by these elite warriors were all written by the tragic dead soldiers; The Germanic barbarians weren't very good at crafting these things in the first place, let alone the warriors of the rebels.

However, the towns of the barbarian world are just a circle of low wooden walls, not the stone walls of civilized countries at all; Even without proper siege weapons, it would not be difficult to take the walls of these towns, but the number of casualties would be higher.

Now that there is a ladder built by the members of the Dead Warriors, the siege of the rebel army will naturally go more smoothly; With the order of Vercaris, Marcuy led 5,000 elite soldiers to slaughter the city of Makomani with chanting the slogan of attack.

Curiously, the rebels' attack did not meet the counterattack of the garrison of the House of Julius, and the unmoving walls left Marcuy confused; Doubting to doubt, he still led his soldiers to the city wall and rushed into the city.

After entering the city, Marcuy suddenly discovered that the 'enemies' stationed on the walls of the city were simply disguised with wooden clothes, and since these defending enemies were fake, where were the real enemies?

Before Marcuy could react, a hundred and fifty meters within the city walls, the forty-eight ballistae of the Fifth Legion's Instrument Brigade, which had already been ready, fired the first round of artillery shells and crossbow arrows under the orders of their captain; The soldiers of the rebel army, who were caught off guard, immediately suffered heavy casualties under this sudden blow, and at least more than 300 people were shot on the spot!

While these ballista troops were attacking the enemy forces that had invaded the city, the 3,500 hoplites led by Rabinus himself opened the gates behind the city of Macomani and killed the 5,000 Germanic warriors in the outer city.

Makuy, who was suddenly attacked, did not back down, and the enemy's sneak attack only provoked Makui's bloodthirsty war spirit; Ignoring the soldiers who had been killed and wounded, he shouted the slogan of attack and led the rest of the soldiers to launch a new attack towards the place where the ballista troops were!

The Germanic warriors who surrounded the rear of the city of Macomani were mediocre rebel fighters who had not undergone rigorous combat training, so where were the opponents of the elite hoplites under Rabinus? After quickly defeating the rebels in front of him, Rabinus led his men to the Qadi region without looking back.

When the warriors led by Macuy himself came to the side of these soldiers, they quickly slaughtered all the soldiers of the House of Julius in front of them; As for the ballista that devoured the lives of hundreds of rebel soldiers, they were all destroyed. An hour later, Vercaris marched into the city of Macomani with the main army of the rebels; The Germanic barbarians are back! (To be continued.) )
